Note: The purpose of the drill is to test the Ecology approved contingency plan. Over the three-year drill cycle, plan holders design drills that demonstrate the ability to meet the planning standards within the scope of the plan, including recovery systems and system compatibility.

Overall Guidance for Self-Certifying Drills:Because occasional self-certification of oil spill drills is still a necessary part of our drill program, we developed this guidance to help you with consistency and accuracy. Self-certification becomes necessary when Ecology lacks the resources to attend the drill and evaluate. All drills are designed with Ecology. At the end of the design process we will let you know whether the drill will unfortunately need to be self-certified. This guidance is developed to help you document your drill and provide the package to Ecology for our review. We will review the documents and give you back a matrix to track your drill credit. Together we can reach for the highest standards through thorough documentation of drills.

How long do you have to give your documentation to Ecology?

Once the drill is complete, you have 60 days to return the documentation to us.

Only documents developed during the drill will count toward drill credit. Documents created before or after the drill are not a demonstration of your plan and won’t be used for drill credit; for example, a pre-canned ICS 201 form.

Blocking out personal info, such as phone numbers and email addresses is acceptable (ICS Forms 211, 205a).

Provide all ICS documents and other plans created, especially those found in your plan (notification and safety forms).

Documentation should be copies, not originals. If it is handwritten and is not legible, we may have to call you about it. Electronic copies are preferred in order to reduce waste.

We will still design all drills with you. During that process we provide you a Drill Evaluation Checklist that shows the items you are attempting to demonstrate during the drill. Some checklist items are best documented or can only be documented using photographs, such as closing an emergency shutoff valve, deploying tracking buoys, situation displays or planning meetings. So use pictures and remember to label them. Send only the relevant pictures.

Please provide WRRL identification numbers for all equipment used for deployment drills. For company owned equipment not listed on the WRRL make sure the description of the equipment is the same as your plan and tell us the staging location. We track the status of all response equipment, maintenance and deployment, so please help us document this effort (WAC 173-182-710 (9) (a))

Provide us with a minimum of three lessons learned from the drill concerning your preparedness.
